Efficient Battery Charging

5/17/1999

The breakthrough in charging technology uses pulse charging algorithms, developed and patented by Yuri Podrazhansky of ACT. The algorithm has the capability to manipulate battery electro-chemistry, producing a 3-dimensional effect within the battery and thereby significantly improves the efficiency of the energy conversion process that takes place during charging. It has produced impressive test results that prove its capabilities to provide the following benefits:Rapid charge - 40 times faster; Extend battery life 5 times longer; Keep an unused battery fully charged for months or years,while eliminating conventional trickle charging; Achieve the maximum charge a battery can hold every time the battery is fully charged; Continually reforms the plate surfaces to inhibit the growth of large crystals that progressively degrade capacity, and shorten battery life.This technology has an "energy conversion" efficiency in the 90% to 95% range, compared to 50% to 70% efficiency for conventional methods. This enables the charging process to be completed faster and with minimal head rise in battery temperature, which also contributes to longer battery life.
